Victoria and Albert Museum: A brief hystory of Underwear

Light shining on a gallery exhibit which displays part of the history of underwear at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England, United Kingdom on Tuesday 12th April 2016. This exhibition will address the practicalities of underwear and its role in the fashionable wardrobe whilst highlighting its sensual, sexual appeal. The exhibition will explore dress reformers and designers who argued for the beauty of the natural body, as well as entrepreneurs, inventors and innovators who have played a critical role in the development of increasingly more effective and comfortable underwear. Open from 16 April 2016 to 12 March 2017. (Photo by Jonathan Nicholson/NurPhoto)
